"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)
Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
The nightly surrogate for the Obama campaign orange-hued Keith Olbermann bellowed the opening spiel: No Michigan revote! McCain lies about Iran! Or is he "out of it"? (Yes, the "delusional" smear again!) Cheney says Screw You! It's hump day at Olbermann Watch, and quite a milestone. The infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann was caught in so many lies tonight that it might well be a new Guiness World Record!
#5: Clips of Obama speech. Clinton in Detroit pushing for a re-vote even though the issue is "moot", and what's worse, she's blaming Obama. Olby rushed to defend, saying that it's "not in Obama's power" to determine because the state Senate won't consider it. Conveniently Edward R Olbermann omits the fact that the state Senate won't take it up until Obama gives his OK, which he hasn't done. Clinton schedules heavily redacted but show her helping to pass NAFTA. More slobbering over The Speech. Bear again complains that Hillary praised Petraeus and was respectful to McCain. Dana Milbank, without weird wardrobe, muttered about bimbo eruptions and tried to explain why insulting Petraeus was not a good thing but was still Great Thanksed.
More on the revote. Hillary went to Michigan after the decision was already made "and tried to blame it on Obama". Monkeymann says HIllary is "backfilling" and cites earlier contradictory statements. He suggested the "nomination process is over". Todd nattered and was Great Thanksed.
After a "lunatic fringe water-carrier" [Ding!] came #4: John McCain made a mistake. "Are you forgetting, or lying?" Didn't Oralmann call him a liar in the spiel? Why is he pretending he didn't? He's "McBush"! "Right-wing radio"! [Ding!] Yes, Merkle ran all over again the clip he played four times in one hour earlier this week. It's either a "two-day senior moment" or "a bald-faced lie"! Lefty Alter bloviated that McCain is trying to "confuse Americans" but when he started to talk about the true threat from Iran, Herr Olbermann interrupted and told him to address McCain's mistakes. The speech policy on OlbyPlanet is rougher than the most PC University. No surprise, Lefty was not Great Thanksed.
#3: Five years in Iraq. Herr Olbermann contradicted Bush statements with "reporting" from Rolling Stone. Cheney said "So?" Far-left Soltz revealed a shocking fact: we went into Iran for WMDs. Stop the presses! Plus he asked the musical question, with the situation so horrible, how are these recruiters going to be able to recruit anyone? (See Dogs below for an exemplification of how leaving out inconvenient news propels OlbySpin.) "Man on Fan" Oblermann added that the President and the Veep "made fools out of themselves" today, and a good time was had by all.
We got a "comedian" [Ding!] and Oralmann's claim that "Sean Hannity called Barack Obama an anti-Semite". Do you think this might be Another Olbermann Lie? #2: a plug for #1. #1: Chuckles with comedian Rachel Maddow of Err America. Olby: Bush is a "chicken little". Comedian! [Ding!] Fox Noise! [Ding!] He went on to say that Fox didn't cover Iraq today. Oops, Another Olbermann Lie. Fox has been doing an all-week series about five years in Iraq, and Oralmann lied by making no mention of it. Here's what Bathtub Boy was too incompetent or lazy or dishonest to tell you about, even though every segment can be viewed right on the Fox website:
Olbermann also lied about O'Reilly, claiming that tonight he featured the "culture quiz" (yet another lie). Does Edward R Olbermann fact check anything or does he make it up as he goes along? Fixed News! [Ding!] Olby and Mandow chortled about O'Reilly's war reporting. Ah the self-delusional irony on OlbyPlanet. O'Reilly's has gone to Iraq and Afghanistan. Keith has gone to spring training.
In the Media Matters Minute, Fat Ass attacked Sean Hannity of Fixed News [Ding!], who said that if Obama agreed with Jeremiah Wright it would make him a racist anti-Semite. So claiming that Hannity said Obama was an anti-Semite--still another Olbermann Lie. Herr Olbermann, who was censured by the Anti-Defamation League, insisted Hannity's audience were racists and anti-Semites. To prove it he quoted a comment that appeared on Hannity's online forum that Obama's background might "get him killed as President". Bear blustered that Hannity "permits assassination fantasies" on his website. Wait a second, wasn't Olby ridiculing O'Reilly for objecting to comments on the Daily Kos and HuffPo? Olbypocrisy will not stop a demagogue like Krazy Keith when he's on a roll.
Oh by the way, Keith's claim that the comment was an "assasination fantasy"? Another Olbermann Lie. He stopped quoting the comment somewhat prematurely, since the writer went on to add: "I'd hope for it not to happen".
Dogs That Did Not Bark: Once again, a veritable cornucopia of canine confidentials that Edward R Olbermann deliberately withheld from the gullible groupies who hang on his every word, shoulder shrug, and drop of spittle. The Obama worship is so sanctimonious on The Hour of Spin that nothing is allowed to interfere with the Leni Riefenstahl of cable news. Bear rhapsodized over the stunning, wondrous nature of Barack's apologia speech. But isn't Olby supposed to be a reporter? In between getting additional stains all over the blue dress, couldn't he do a little reporting? And so it is that a major Obama endorsement was also spiked; it just doesn't exactly help the Illionois Senator. And with all the talk tonight about how stressed the Army is, how strange is it that the latest re-enlistment statistics were somehow never brought up? Not strange at all. This is OlbyPlanet, after all.
And that's The Hour of Spin for this, an especially repellent 683rd day since the declaration that "Karl Rove will in fact be indicted".
From its "news show of record" disguise
MSNBC tells its lies
Bleeding green so Bill Gates
Closed the money floodgates
And the "MS" no longer applies
Awesome recap tonight. One of the best.
Janet @ 9:50 PM on the 328 thread: "Mike has compared Hagee with McCain to Wright with Obama."
"Mike" has done NO such thing!!!
"Mike" has not even weighed in on that discussion...not once!
Janet....It simply doesn't become you to keep making things up that you wish to be true.
KO reality check...

Tonight Keith tries to contradict Hillary and find a , got you moment, by saying she supported Nafta. But he forgets to mention she supported Nafta about 15yrs ago. So no new bomb shell there.
Then he tries to call Hillary liar, by trying to prove she really doesn't want the people of Michigan to have a voice.
And he says because Michigan isn't voting then the election is over. So again, Keith is asking Hillary to drop out, he does this on a nightly basis.
Dana Milbank said because of the small number of protestors today, Iraq is a bad issue for all Democrats. Which contradicts everything Keith has been saying.
Then Keith try's to rebut Dana by saying there is little protest because "there is no draft, if there was, you can multiply the crowd by a thousands"
Does Keith follow the news at all?
Several years ago there was a world wide protest against the war that drew millions, and there wasn't a daft back then?
Keith can't debate to save his life. Anything that is not scripted throws Keith off.
In a misguided attempt to get ratings, it MSNBC has Rachel Maddow on every show.
It seems like they are "pimping her out"
Janet, mike was lumping McCain with Ann Coulter making the weak comparison to the obama/wright story. Needless to say, it was a dead end street.
Mike was doing WHAT? Coulter has been campaigning AGAINST McCain! If that's Mike's argument he is more delusional than Keith Oralmann.
"Janet, mike as lumping McCain with Ann Coulter making the weak comparison to the obama/wright story."
And NO, I wasn't doing THAT either!
Just for you Jeff, my ACTUAL argument was that John McCain could no more publicly repudiate the likes of Ann Coulter than Obama can publicly repudiate some extremists on the left.
YOU then completely ignored the context of what I was replying to and took it to mean that I was implying that McCain had the same kind of relationship with Coulter as Obama has ith Wright....which as incorrect.
And once again Janet....I have not even mentioned Hagee....not once!
Johnny, I really thought you had more class than to listen to ANYTHING that "Olby SUCKS" says.
But cheer up....you can always delete your own post.
Just as John McCain cannot repudiate white extremists like Ann Coulter.
Posted by: Mike at March 19, 2008 11:03 AM
Last I heard Ann Coulter was supporting Hillary. Last I checked Ann Coulter wasn't John McCains mentor of 20 yrs. Last I checked AC didn't marry the McCains or baptise their kids. Last I checked McCain hasn't given a lot of money to Ann Coulters church. Last I checked Ann Coulter hasn't said anything near what obamas 'reverend' has said. Should I go on?
Posted by: olby SUCKS at March 19, 2008 11:35 AM
Olby SUCKS just proved what I said at 10:48, EVEN though he continues to ignor the context, ...... and the hillarious thing about it is that he doesn't even know how stupid it makes HIM look.
Then, there was this gem:
"When did Coulter become a "white extremist?"
If you're so far to the right that you have to ask that question, then the obvious answer (s) would be lost on you.
Posted by: Mike at March 19, 2008 12:29 PM
Hey Mike, how about addressing, even momentarily, the topic of this site? How about telling us what you think of how stupid Keith Olbermann looks, having been caught in nearly a half-dozen lies within the space of 60 minutes?
Is diverting every topic away from Olby's lies the best you can do in damage control for him?
Ah liberals, they always say something is taken out of context, that old gem of a conversational divert.
Another legendary liberal tactic is to bring up something completely off subject, for instance.. George W. Bush received Pat Robertsons endorsement, and he said America brought on 9/11 or some such drivel, so it is.. by this fallacious conclusion A OK that Obama associates with, and even glorifies and defends an anti Semite racist pig whom hates Caucasoids in general.
Those crazy moonbats also enjoy a good spell checking battle, so make sure that you get those words spelled correctly, and don't forget to punctuate and capitalize because by God, if you don't it disqualifies your entire argument.
Herr Olbermann contradicted Bush statements with "reporting" from Rolling Stone.
LOL.. Is Olbermann going to start quoting MTV news next? What a joke. Quite a journalist old Keith is.
Lets break down the three segments of Olbermann show.
Attack Hillary
Attack McCain
Attack Fox News.
Boy do we need some Britney news.
mike lied about O'Reilly last night. Why would he care if olby lied? mike claimed O'Reilly went into a "tirade" and cut someone off. He got cut because of a time constraint and the dude was sitting there with his mouth hanging open, anyways. The lie was the "tirade" that didn't happen. Bill very calmly said that he had to go.

On Planet Mike, Olbermann is a Dog That Did Not Bark.
Johnny: "Hey Mike, how about addressing the topic of this site, even momentarily, the topic of this site."
So your suggestion is that I should just ignor someone lying about what I said on a thread you chose to close early?
Maybe I would more seriously consider that request if you would admonish serial off topic posters such as Cee with the same request....even momentarily.
"Ah liberals, they always say something is taken out of context, that old gem of a conversational divert."
And "liberals" will continue to say that "something is taken out of context"....whenever something is taken out of context.
It's called "truth".
Ya wanna change that? ..... Then stop taking things out of context!
You know whats really ironic about attacks on FOX News is that the other channels are completely slanted towards a far left viewpoint, whereas FOX entertains both sides of the story, O'Reilly went as far as to have a couple of insane "Professors" whom concurred with Mr. Wrights absurd AIDS theory.. that is, that our government injected the AIDS virus into the African American community to kill its own citizens, which.. to any sane person is nothing more than victimization theory to the extreme but still.. O'Reilly remained calm though he disagreed.. and was clearly shocked that such a supposedly learned person was in fact an obtuse racist moron whom actually conjectured that a similar attempt was made using Syphilis of all things years earlier, straight out of a badly made Spike Lee movie.
Now personally I would have burst into uncontrollable laughter having heard a so called professor make such a claim, in a sincere tone.. but O'Reilly stayed calm, lets see how well Olbermann would do interviewing the opposite of that spectrum say perhaps.. someone that subscribes to the "white" values system, aka a white supremacist (we are allowed to call white racists by what they really are, not black ones however) whom believed that.. blacks were purposely diluting his "racial purity" for instance.. Olbermann would fly off into a moronic tirade, where as O'Reilly remained cool. so yeah, call it "Faux" "Fixed" or "Fox Noise" I really don't care.. its my station of choice, you keep on watching MSNBC and CNN so you don't hear any facts that make those tender liberal ears burn my moonbat colleagues.
Factor: "Is diverting every topic away from Olby's lies the best you can do in damage control for him."
And what would YOU know about "Olby's lies"?.... After all, you've already admitted you never watch his show.
I attempted to mail a factual complaint to MSNBC and couldn't. I finally found an address and it bounced back, so here's the comment:
Dear Editors,
I thoroughly combed the MSNBC web page and cannot find a location to send correction information, not a contact for Keith Olberman.
On Wednesday, March 18, Olberman mistakenly referred to an Obama campaign appearance at a "Town Hall Meeting" in North Carolina and commented that it seemed unusual that nobody brought up his race speech or the War in Iraq.
The following clip from the Raleigh News Observer explains the reason. It was not a town hall meeting, it was an invitation only event for military in Fayetteville.
http://www.newsobserver.com/politics/story/1005512.html
"The morning event was an invitation-only gathering with military families and veterans at Fayetteville Technical Community College. Some supporters and local elected officials also were among about 150 invitees at the Tony Rand Student Center. "
Olberman has declared his full support for Obama, but abusing his position to misstate facts in order to create a false impression goes beyond the limits of acceptable broadcasting. Or, has Keith Olberman become "THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD!!!!"
How would Mike et al react to The Aryan Nation being a registered supporter on McCain's official site for over a year while we Repub/Conservatives defended him for doing it.
I do think that this revelation re The Black Panthers simply adds more weight to my growing suspicion that Obama has been less than forthcoming about his philosophy and beliefs.
You were discussing the Catholic Church's role with the Nazis earlier. There is virtually indisputable evidence that some high ranking Bishops and Cardinals were very active in helping [money, safe houses, documents etc,] Nazi war criminals relocate to South America, particularly Argentina. A very sad chapter in the Church's history.
Grammie
Posted by: Janet Hawkins at March 19, 2008 9:50 PM
Grammie,
In order to believe that Obama harbored the philosophy of the New Black Panthers, I'd have to have more evidence than the fact that he attends Wright's church and that the Panthers endorsed him.
That's a serious allegation and I need serious evidence.
As to what Mike and company would do were the Aryan Nation to endorse McCain, I have no doubt. I can only keep myself from being like Mike, I can't keep Mike from being like Mike.
"O'Reilly went so far as to have a couple of insane "professors" who concured with Mr. Wrights absurd AIDS view."
So THAT is your definition of airing "both" sides of an issue?
Earth to Ignignigt, ..... the story was NEVER about the merits of Wright's ridiculous views...It was about whether Obama's association ith someone with such extreme views constitutes agreement with such views.
Of COURSE O'Reilly would want to have the nuttiest people on that he could find that he can imply represents the 'left's' viewpoints....even when it misses the point of the entire debate.
That said, the man I saw on O'Reilly last night who was promised "the last word", and then was subsequently shouted down when he tried to have that last word, .... was NOT one of those nutty "professors" that you just mentioned.
All Mike tries to do is keep everyone from focusing on all the lies and nazi propaganda that spews from Herr Olbermann's mouth. Just ignore him.
It's the insanity of the Krazy K. Keith would should be talking about.
Good. Now that Keith called for Hannity to track every poster that says anything negative on his website, I am sure Olby will want the Daily Kos and HuffPo to turn in every poster who wished death on Bush and every Rep. I am sure Herr Olbermann will have a story on this tomorrow.
this douche has to be fucking with the lefties. How in the world can they watch that and believe it.
Maybe they're all stuck in 9th grade, man, when the world meant something...and we could work for change, man.
I can see a lot of earnest kids thinking Olberboob is the seer of great things and because he is so close to tears so often, he feels things as much as their little mixed up minds do.
Who in the hell can watch this guy for more than five seconds and not conclude he is full of shit.
Well, Billy Jeff did get elected...
J$
I admit I never watch Krazy, but as an avid reader of your summaries it appears Olby now lies exclusively as it is easier to script the show without the constraints of pesky "facts."
Perhaps we are too hard on Keith? After all, he merely realized that he was unable to compete for normal viewers, so he went for his bretheren -- mentally challenged fantasists and communists. We do not expect weasels to behave as mighty lions, nor do we expect slimy eels to emerge from the muck and mire to proudly swim in the open sea. Thus we should not expect Keith to behave as a responsible newsman.
I do not expect someone of Keith's abnormal mental and genetic condition to behave rationally, just as I do not expect a virus to realize that its existence is cruel and harmful. Let us celebrate biodiversity, for without maggots, there would not be decomposition. Without viruses there would not be a weeding out of the weak and infirm. Without the lowly worm the entire ecosystem would collapse.
No, we must figure out what role Keith plays -- worm, weasel, virus, bacteria -- and celebrate nature's wonder.
Cecelia: "As to what Mike and company would do were the Aryan Nation to endorse John McCain, I have no doubt, I can only keep myself from being like Mike, I can't keep Mike from being like Mike."
Are you implying that I would jump on such an allegation? Even when I have already stated in no uncertain terms on this very blog that I will NEVER hold against McCain the views of anyone who happens to support him....or even anyone he happens to be associated with who also happens to have extreme views.
As I see my own words and beliefs constantly distorted on this blog, it makes it easier to identify with candidates that I see the same thing happening to daily.
No Cecelia, you're NOT like me at all, .... because I don't distort your positions, or imply you believe things you haven't posted that you believe.
It's hard to believe that anyone in 2008 gets his thong in a wad over the Black Panthers. Goodness, they have been neutered for a quarter of a century!
In any event, just how difficult is it for a person or any organization to register on a website? On one right wing website alone I have registered as Bess Truman, Anne Windsor, A.B. Roncalli, Victor Hugo, Margaret Mitchell, Mason Reese, the Royal Society for the Preservation of Mongeese, LeMaistre Tire & Rubber Co., the Young Fascist Alliance and Trans-Rhode Island International Airlines.
SOS/Low Road As Usual: Janet and Royal King demonizing those with whom they disagree politically, without any basis for doing so.
BNS/High Road: Cecelia taking the high road. You could knock me over with an fresh croissant! But, I like it.
And, this is Jimmy Jack the Juggling Clown wishing you all a good night and a better tomorrow.
Good. Now that Keith called for Hannity to track every poster that says anything negative on his website, I am sure Olby will want the Daily Kos and HuffPo to turn in every poster who wished death on Bush and every Rep. I am sure Herr Olbermann will have a story on this tomorrow.

Not to mention all of your names you have used here....
I can't understand Mike at all. Why does he continue to defend Keith? Despite all the lies. Despite all the hypocrisy. Despite all the racist comments. Despite all the sexist comments. Despite all the personal attacks. Here's Mike. Like clockwork. Defending Keith.
James, mike is buried over his head in denial. Plain and simple.
"I can't understand Mike at all. Why does he continue to defend Keith?"
James, how can you recognies "lies", if you can't even get it right when you are accusing someone of 'continuing to defend' that they are NOT 'continuing to defend.'
Go one James, look at the entire thread above and tell me WHERE I have 'continued to defend Keith'?

When you can't defend.........
But James maybe to help you understand people like Mike, and his hero Olby. And the smooth talking Marxist Barrack. Let's use a scientific approach. From Mr. David Sloan Wilson.

Didn't see anything on his 10 pm rerun against Greta. Not that I give a crap aboput Greta but I guess Olby's and MSNBC's ego think they can knock her off.

Hey let's tie 2 things together:
1) Mike's post and
2) this site's topic KO
So how come you don't get all riled up about KO taking things out of context... one perfect example from last night's show being the post on Hannity's website that "was up for 24 hours" about an "assasination fantasy", where he excluded the very next line "I'd hope for it not to happen".
Oh dear...Obamessiah's attempt to change the subject seems to not have worked on Pennsylvania voters.....
"Obama has always been a tough sell in largely white Northeast Philadelphia and in the city's blue-collar river wards, a collection of white ethnic enclaves where customers at the local watering hole are often born and raised in the neighborhood that supports it.
"And his speech Tuesday, although widely praised by the pundit caste and Obama supporters, has only seemed to widen the gulf with the Budweiser class here.
"More than a dozen interviews Wednesday found voters unmoved by Obama’s plea to move beyond racial divisions of the past. Despite baring himself with extraordinarily personal reflections on one of the most toxic issues of the day, a highly unusual move for a politician running for national office, the debate inside taverns and beauty shops here had barely moved beyond outrage aimed at the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Obama’s refusal to 'disown' his longtime pastor.
"A day after the speech, local residents were left wondering whether Obama was candid in the last week when he said he hadn’t heard any of Wright’s most objectionable remarks, but then said Tuesday that he had heard 'controversial' remarks while sitting in the pews.
"'He lied to Anderson Cooper,' said Rodica Mitrea, an aesthetician and immigrant from Romania, referring to an Obama interview Friday with the CNN anchor.
"'The speech plays only among the elites,' Ceisler said. 'The average person on the street cares about the economy and the war and everyday life.'
"Glenn Peter, 54, a patron at Rauchut’s Tavern, said he heard finger pointing, not reconciliation. He took issue with Obama’s explanation that Wright’s observations of a racist America were reflecting the racial scars of his past.
"'I don’t want to hear that you are blaming us for him saying this,' said Peter, who is white and worked at an auto parts factory until it was shuttered several years ago. Cutting ties with the church 'would have been the best way to do it. That way, I could have been able to listen to him again.'
"Peter said he’s never voted for a Republican for president, but if Obama is the nominee, he will support Sen. John McCain.
[...]
"'Now I am 100 percent for Clinton and zero percent for Obama,' Mitrea said.
"As an immigrant who is now a citizen, Mitrea said she took offense to Wright’s comments that 'God Bless America' should be 'God damn America.'
"'I love America,' Mitrea said. 'I thank God I am here. I live a free life.'
"Obama should have severed all relations with Wright, Mitrea said."
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0308/9132.html
###
Yep....the excuses and try to change the subject speech does leave some with questions.....After 20 years and Obamessiah said he never knew of Wright's views about AIDS conspiracies and "God damn America?" And the fact that he tries to excuse how some African-American's hate America?.....Ok.....that's nice for a candidate for POTUS.....
Too bad these hard working Dems only have HRC as an alternative in the primary.....Come November, as this topic continues to perculate under the surface, Americans who love their country for the freedom and opportunity it affords them no matter their race, creed or gender......they will have a clearer choice....
The anti-American left or the honorable and respectful former POW John McCain.
weep, faint, then weep again.....
Olbergoebbels continuing to say how "ancient" McCain is.........There's 23 years between the fascist left wing bomb thrower and McCain, and how many between Olbermann and his concubine? I believe it's 26. Only on OlbyPlanet.............Looking like McCain is going to win so, looks like four more years of the Orange Mouthbreather...Thank God for OlbyWatch, I can't take the propaganda. BTW...Comparisons to O'Reilly's show at this point are insane. Bill actually has a show................
Alter told Keith Dems make a mistake by downplaying Iran and Olbermann got pissed and interrupted Alter. Olbermann definently is very sensative when it comes to Iran.
Olbermann is a supporter of Ahmadinejad.
Another two cents........O'Reilly never mentions the Orange idiot with good reason, he's not worth the breath. However, to swing an ax into Olbergoebbels back, he should have the body language expert and a psychiatrist on in a segment to show how insane leftist "news" shows are. It would be a laugh riot to see Tonya Reiman go through all of Olby's crazy gestures and facial expressions, and a psychiatrist to say how insane this moron really is...Wonder who would get WPITW the next night...Then again the next night Allison Stewart would be on as either Olbergoebbels would either be in the bathtub or under suicide watch at Bellevue...........Come on Bill, at least think about it...........
I read that Olbermann was moving over to the Comedy Channel.
fg,
He actually moonlights at Iranian TV.

Isn't he already on the Comedy Channel? He has a clown on before his show and a fool on after his show.
poor baby, I got 2 words that will answer your question at 9:16. Hypocritical hack. Heavy emphasis on the former.
18 pt swing among (I) voters to McCain over obama!

The reason or reasons for that shift could be anything and I think it would depend on who you asked....For moderates and independents I know it has been Obamessiah's lack of candor these last 12 months and when the Wright story exploded.....he first claimed he was unaware of the controversial remarks but in his speech on Tuesday he says he was aware....
One thing resonable people do not like is simple lies that are easily seen coming out from a candidate's mouth....Obamessiah has claimed to be the new type of pol that will save us all from ourselves....it seems he is no different than the usual.....
Good. Now that Keith called for Hannity to track every poster that says anything negative on his website, I am sure Olby will want the Daily Kos and HuffPo to turn in every poster who wished death on Bush and every Rep. I am sure Herr Olbermann will have a story on this tomorrow.

That's just Olbermann doing a little convoluted spin work for Obama, by calling attention to the fact that Hannity's site has crazy posters so as to make a comparison with Obama's site and the New Black Panthers biz.
Olbermann is certainly an "equal opportunity" democratic supporter. HRC can rest assured if Obama wasn't around, he'd be doing it all for her...and WILL be doing it all for her if she ends up being the Democratic presidential candidate.
"Two days after Barack Obama gave the most important speech of his life, it remains unclear what impact the controversy over Pastor Jeremiah Wright will have on the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. However, early data suggests that it has already had a negative impact on Obama’s chances of winning the general election against John McCain. The good news for Obama is that his numbers have stopped falling since his speech on Tuesday. The bad news is that they haven’t bounced back.
"In the week before the media frenzy over Wright, Obama and McCain were essentially tied in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll. Less than a week later, and two days after Obama’s speech, McCain had opened a seven-point lead over Obama. Significantly, by Thursday’s polling, McCain had pulled slightly ahead of Obama among unaffiliated voters. McCain also enjoys unified support from Republican voters while Obama only attracts 65% of Democratic votes at this time.
"Obama’s favorable ratings have also fallen below the 50% mark since the world learned of his former Pastor. This can be seen as part of a larger trend that began shortly after Obama’s victories in the Wisconsin Primaries. At that time, just before Hillary Clinton began raising questions about her competitor, Obama was viewed favorably by 56% of voters nationwide. That had slipped to 52% just before Pastor Wright’s views became big news and to 47% just before Obama’s speech. Two days after the speech, Obama’s favorables remain at 48%."

It seems pretty clear the way moderates and independents see the Wright issue and Obamessiah's reaction to it.....The elitist, high-brow reaction plays to a narrow group....mostly leftists who already have an anti-American point-of-view....but this is not a mainstream view....Obamessiah is going to realize quickyl that millions of hardworking, average Americans do not want a POTUS who is "nuanced" about the good intentioned and noble U.S.A.....A line of American flags behind a podium is not enough.....
I think there are enough people beating up on America....POTUS does not have to join the group.
Are you implying that I would jump on such an allegation? Even when I have already stated in no uncertain terms on this very blog that I will NEVER hold against McCain the views of anyone who happens to support him....or even anyone he happens to be associated with who also happens to have extreme views.
As I see my own words and beliefs constantly distorted on this blog, it makes it easier to identify with candidates that I see the same thing happening to daily.
No Cecelia, you're NOT like me at all, .... because I don't distort your positions, or imply you believe things you haven't posted that you believe.

Coincidentally..... Mike.... in light of what's happened with Obama's "pastor problem" as well another....shall we say....controversial endorsement, I'd say this stance of yours is conveniently new and conveniently convenient for you.
What is else is new...
No, we must figure out what role Keith plays -- worm, weasel, virus, bacteria -- and celebrate nature's wonder.

Olbermann is the sole livng transitional form between modern day humans and our early humanoid ancestors.
He's a Superbug, of course. He's a mutated germ, impervious to logic and reason. He's nature's way of highlighting the maladaptive irrational specimens among us.
Plus, he's a goddamn insect. (Excuse my French...)
Just found this site. Glad to see that there are others bothered by Keith Obamamann as much as I am lately.

It's called George Bush blew up the TC's on 9/11.
Another reason not to have a D in The White House....The leftist Congress would just love to do this one and at least a Republican President would veto it.....
Michigan Congressman Wants 50-Cent Tax Hike on Every Gallon of Gas
"Polls show that a majority of Americans support policies that would reduce greenhouse gases. But when it comes to paying for it, it's a different story.
"Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., wants to help cut consumption with a gas tax but some don't agree with the idea, according to a new poll by the National Center for Public Policy Research.
"The poll, scheduled to be released on Thursday, shows 48 percent don't support paying even a penny more, 28 percent would pay up to 50 cents more, 10 percent would pay more than 50 cents and 8 percent would pay more than a dollar."

The 18% willing to pay the government over 50 cents more in taxes is the same group who
weep, faint then weep again
at Obamessiah's rallies......
"What does "Cecelia thinks this", and "Jeff thinks that", and "Janet thinks because" mean. Could you clarify?"
I don't have a clue hat they mean because I don't have a clue who you are quoting?
I wait, I get it....you're falsely attributing statements, complete with quotation marks....AGAIN!
And THAT...is a form of lying.
For the record, mike. Are you claiming you have never used "cecelia thinks" "cee thinks" or "Jeff thinks?"
I just came across an interesting article about the requirements for a group to register on Obama's campaign web site at Yellow Limes :

It is well worth reading if you are interested in the topic.

Not like YOU, who 'weeps' at the very thought of actually paying more taxes to fight a war that apparently gives you so much erotic pleasure.
Nobody has EVER explained to me the logic of justifying fighting a war we aren't paying for, yet you then cry about the cost of anything else that must be paid for....one way or the other.
It's as if you think the war is somehow financed magically....but everything else must be paid for.
"for the record Mike, Are you claiming you have never used "Cecelia thinks", "Cee thinks", of Jeff thinks".
I am "claiming" that I have never intentionally put words or thoughts in their mouths, as Janet did to me she claimed I as comparing the Hagee situation to the Wright situation.....and as they both did last night when they claimed I would attack McCain if it were discoved that the Aryan Nation were posting on his site.
And for the umteenth time, why don't you come up your OWN damn arguments...instead of acting like a troll all the time?
